Review: Excellent Learning Tool, Great Value, Software And Interface Cable For Any Electric Guitar - This is a joint review of two products I bought together for use together, which I am certain will help you in your decision. I bought my first Guitar when I was 17 (a few decades ago :-)) in Pakistan but never had the time to learn, especially as I got more into music synthesis, sequencing, and keyboards. Arriving in Manhattan to attend Columbia Business School almost 25 years ago I immediately purchased a Yamaha (acoustic) that still adorns my Long Island home for nearly 20 years. During that time I did manage (despite an utter lack of talent and complete lack of training or music education) to create an electronic music CD a few years ago. Email me about nTrance: To The Tunnel Of Love. :-) Of course, I have to thank Atari for the original experience (Atari 520, then 1040ST and finally Mega4ST) and Apple (various Macintosh desktops and laptops) along with Korg, Yamaha, Casio, Roland, and many others (including Ashar Nisar, as well as whoever wrote Music Studio for Atari, Dr. T for KCS, and Opcode for Vision) for helping but not completely hiding my total lack of musical talent. By the way, I still own those products in running condition 25 years later. Anyway, back to this review. Despite my love for the Piano and for electronic music and the dual creativity of music tunes and sound synthesis on keyboards, here was something about the guitar that always attracted me. But, lack of time, knowing there was a calloused fingers price to pay, and other obligations kept me from it. Then I bought an Xbox 360 with Kinect, and my interest in guitar was rekindled (not the desertcart Kindle kind :) ) by the availability of Rocksmith. At the price, for what is elaborate software, including a cable interface for ANY electric guitar to connect to the Xbox, along with licensed music (including the first rock tune I loved as a 7 year old, Can't Get No Satisfaction), and an ability to help even the untalented learn to strum guitar, I had to order it, and I did, from desertcart. Since Rocksmith required me to purchase an electric guitar, I looked around, on desertcart, and one of my other favorite music stores, Guitar Center. I also checked out Best Buy. There were many great guitars in the several hundred dollars price range but I also knew that the likelihood of it becoming an expensive unused showpiece around the house was high. So I looked downmarket in price. Reading the great reviews on the Glen Burton guitar, I settled on it. Heck, even if it was never used, it matched the colors of my new Yamaha Y-ZF R6 motorcycle :) and would be a not too terrible waste of money. I did email the seller to see if there was a way I could get the Blueburst (gorgeous blue and black body) but I could not get it in time, or with desertcart Prime that I was planning to use. So, I went with this Glen Burton in wine red. Both Rocksmith and the Glen Burton arrived on time the next day. I love desertcart purchase experiences but this was the first somewhat less than perfect ones. Rocksmith, a software DVD and cable, came packed beautifully sturdily in the typical desertcart carton. The far heavier, more "breakable" and sensitive guitar, on the other hand, arrived in a carton just slightly larger than the guitar's own carton, with just a few folded layers of brown wrapping papers thrown in for "cushioning". (Others have commented on the poor packaging also). Mine, fortunately was not damaged, but the packaging was not up to par for desertcart experiences, in my opinion. This is when it got more annoying. The product name clearly states: '39" Inch WINE RED Double Humbucker Full Size Electric Guitar [Fat Style] & DirectlyCheap(TM) Translucent Blue Medium Guitar Pick'.... but, there was nothing in there with a pick. I had to email the seller and was told that is shipped separately! It is "just" a piece of plastic but to get Prime (and pay extra per item for next day delivery) and then find out the pick will arrive later, after I would have left for a trip, was annoying. Another thing that I was surprised by was the complete and utter lack of anything remotely like an "owner's manual". Even if I buy something for $1.99 at a Home Depot or someplace these days, I usually find even a tiny scrap of folded paper with some usage, or care, instructions. Nothing, zip, nada, for a nearly $100 product that will be used by many beginners. Nothing about a warranty. Nothing about how to care for it. Nothing about not putting it in a washing machine... OK, I say that last piece in jest, but you get the idea. For less than $100 I am not expecting 2 separate manuals in 20 different languages and colored how-to plug-in instructions. But to have nothing at all in the box, and the seller's advice in an email to go buy a book, were extremely annoying and dissatisfactory. What do I ask for at the book store... "How To Clean Your Wine Red Electric Guitar For Dummies"? The Rocksmith software, on the other hand, was delightful to set up and use - except for an initial hiccup. As you probably know, the software is basically of the type you've seen people play, e.g. Rockband etc., on their TV consoles. Notes of different colors come down the highway lanes representing different locations on the fretboard. But, no matter how hard I tried, each note made Rocksmith tell me to move one note over to the left. Every note, on every string. I tuned and retuned the guitar, but kept getting the same error. I then did a Bing search (why Google when using an awesome Microsoft console :-) ) and found others reporting the same problem and found the answer to be exactly what I said. "No matter how hard I tried...." was the problem... When the strings are pressed too hard they stretch enough to change their tone, making Rocksmith thing you played one note to the left. Using a lighter touch I was immediately able to hit the right notes... of course, every 20th note of the actual songs. I have used Rocksmith thrice, once each day for about 15 minutes, so as to slowly toughen the fingertips, without overdoing it. The guitar itself has been a satisfactory purchase. I will read up more in other places to learn about the upkeep and maintenance of such instruments (manufacturer gets a Fail for not including something in the box). Overall, I have to say even the seller has been fine, and desertcart, as always, has been great to deal with. The seller's auto-reply says emails may take 24 hours to reply and generally he responded well within that time frame. desertcart was awesome in how quickly they offered to take the guitar back or to otherwise make up for the less than satisfactory experience. So, for that I would make this a 4.5 Star experience. But since there is no half-star option, and I do not want to give 5 stars due to the shortcomings, I will leave it at 4-stars. I had to be in Seattle for the weekend and only got back to Long Island, New York, late last evening. I will get back on the Xbox starting my learning experience this week. Who knows, in these next few decades ahead, I may actually learn to play, not just own, a guitar. :-) Rock On! Review: 5 Stars, Nothing Less than perfect! - Don't believe the few poor reviews of this game. It's simply the best ever guitar game and you will learn how to play quickly while having a blast. New songs can be downloaded every few weeks as new DLC is released for 2.99 a song. Next week some Pearl Jam songs will be released. I've been playing this game for 3 months and I've had a blast learning how to play guitar. I bought a 350 dollar Squier Fender Deluxe Stratocaster to use with this game and it works great. Those few disappointed people have nobody to blame but themselves because they did not take the time to setup the system or their guitar. As far as the people that complain about audio lag, the instructions tell you to use separate component/composite cables to run the audio through a home theater receiver & speakers, so the HDMI just sends the video to your TV, so mute the volume on the TV while playing. If you still hear a little lag, the game allows you to adjust settings for lag, so experiment with different settings until the lag is gone. The few bucks you spend on cables and the 5 minutes you spend wiring the game correctly eliminates the lag. Do a little research before crying and giving up, and bad mouthing this awesome game. Visit the Rocksmith forum at the Ubisoft website to learn tips like: tuning the sixth string a little bit on the flat side helps ensure the notes register and also make sure you aren't bending the string when pressing down or the proper note will not be played/register (don't blame the game for operator error); Also make sure your volume knob on the guitar is at max volume. A software patch was recently released that allows 30 tries in Riff Repeater mode, instead of 5 tries, it also lets you set the mastery level so you can try 100% difficulty or make it really easy. So for those people that complain about playing a song and getting overwhelmed when the game automatically levels up and throws unexpected notes at you too quickly, first you should practice the song in Riff Repeater, Freespeed, pause the game to adjust difficulty, master the song in Riff Repeater and then play the full song to qualify for a performance. Additionally, if you keep your controller next to you, you can always reach over and pause the game when you see a tough section coming up, this allows you to reposition your fingers to the upcoming strings/frets, then un-pause the game and tackle it. I routinely pause the game when new chords come up so I can reposition my hand and it works great! Some people complain about having to check the tuning on the guitar before each song because this takes too long; but really it only takes a few seconds and don't you want to make sure the strings are in tune so the notes will register correctly and you will get a higher score? That's just whining, maybe those people are too lazy to learn the guitar in the first place...maybe go back to the guitar hero plastic toy game. Some people complain about how its hard to play the correct notes while looking at the screen. Well yes this is true but you will get better with practice and soon be able to do this. You will also learn the song so well that you don't have to always look at the screen, as you memorize the riffs you can play along with the music while just looking at your guitar. Bottom line, this game makes learning the guitar really fun. Of course you should also use youtube and other websites to help learn proper fingering and chords and other basics like changing strings, don't expect Rocksmith to teach you 100% of what you need to know. ## Features - Features - - Whether it's the guitar sitting in your attic, your cherished faithful steed, or the guitar you have yet to buy, Rocksmith lets you plug any guitar into your PlayStation 3 system - Difficulty settings that adapt to your ability. You love a challenge, but hate being overwhelmed. Rocksmith understands this, and knows exactly how far to push to keep you entertained and addicted - Lots of music. Lots of styles. One of the most satisfying moments for any guitar player is hearing yourself play your favorite song for the first time. Rocksmith has amassed an amazing library of songs from different music genres (from classic rock bands to current artists, such as The Animals, The Black Keys, David Bowie, Interpol, Nirvana and The Rolling Stones) - Play songs instead of just learning them. You want to play new songs, but you don't want to labor through tablature or cringe through poorly produced videos. No problem. Imagine that. A video game that'll get you stage-ready ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004S5TDL0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #55,989 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #7,327 in PlayStation Legacy Systems | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Sony PlayStation 3 CECH-4012C | | Computer Platform | PlayStation 3 | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,613) | | Date First Available | March 15, 2011 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00008888346883 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 12 ounces | | Item model number | 34688 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Ubisoft | | Number of Players | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 7.8 x 5.59 x 2.6 inches; 12 ounces | | Publication Date | October 18, 2011 | | Rated | Teen | | Release date | October 18, 2011 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 008888346883 433599233977 | ## Images ![Rocksmith - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5188F9FSBiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Learning Tool, Great Value, Software And Interface Cable For Any Electric Guitar *by I***™ on July 31, 2012* This is a joint review of two products I bought together for use together, which I am certain will help you in your decision.

I've poured a few hundred hours into the 2014 edition, and mainly bought this one so I could import the songs into it, but decided to try this one on its own as well. In some ways it is superior to the later game, my personal favorite feature being that it plays a recording of your playing right after you finish the song. On top of it being a satisfying ego boost where you can hear "Hey I actually played it really well!" It also helps you actually hear parts you have trouble with and need to improve on. The song list is fantastic as well, with a lot of songs that are great for beginners and a lot more difficult songs to build up to. There's also a stellar list of unlockable songs, which broadened my taste in music further and introduced me to bands I probably never would have listened to beforehand. Overall I'd heavily recommend getting this game as well as the 2014 edition as they both have fantastic song choices (not even counting dlc songs), are remarkably fun to play especially for any aspiring guitarist or bassist, and a wonderful stepping stone into the beautiful world of music as a whole. As a side note though you're going to need to buy a Real Tone Cable separately now and those aren't cheap. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2388747-rocksmith](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2388747-rocksmith) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
